Reflective Memory PMC expands data security, memory storage.

Press Release Summary:



Used in data-intensive applications, 32-bit/33 MHz P512 provides real-time redundant memory storage across multiple computers in networked system. Data security and memory capacity are increased since memory elements can be read from and written to different processors simultaneously as well as shared among PCs. Each module offers 32 MB soldered, FPGA-controlled DDR2 SDRAM and one LVDS channel with 230 MHz 86 MB/s connection speed.

MEN Micro's New Reflective Memory PMC Increases Data Security; Extends Memory Capacity



AMBLER, Pa. February 2009 - MEN Micro Inc., a world-renowned provider of embedded computing and I/O solutions for demanding industrial, mobile and harsh environment applications, now offers the new P512, a reflective memory PMC that provides real-time redundant memory storage across multiple computers in a networked system.

In addition to high transmission speeds and exceptional flexibility, the 32-bit/33 MHz P512 offers increased data security as well as expanded memory capacity, since memory elements can be read from and written to different processors simultaneously and shared among PCs providing a redundant memory architecture. The P512 is widely used in a variety of mission-critical and data-intensive applications including data acquisition, test and measurement, industrial automation and control as well as in the medical and aerospace industries.

Each P512 module offers 32 MB soldered, FPGA-controlled DDR2 SDRAM and an LVDS channel with a connection speed of 230 MHz and 86 MB/s. The PMC supports multi-mode transmission up to six feet, so it can be integrated into a mesh connecting all modules of the network to each other. For this, each system CPU needs a PMC module for the connection to the other computers (i.e. for two SBCs - one PMC module per SBC, three SBCs - two PMC modules per SBC, etc.).

The P512 operates from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) with qualified components as is suitable for any PMC-compliant host carrier board in any type of bus system (i.e. CPCI, VME or on any stand-alone SBC). Appropriate PMC carrier cards in 3U, 6U and other formats are available from MEN Micro and other manufacturers.

Pricing for the P512 Reflective Memory PMC is $2,123. Delivery is six weeks ARO.
